Which hardware upgrade gives the most performance increase?

I want to upgrade my computer to play modern games with no lag and medium to high settings, 1080p/60hz, and was wondering which upgrades matter more. For example, can I possibly only upgrade the GPU and be satisfied with the performance?

Yes a GPU is definitely teh way to go as your CPU is still quite powerfull and will run any game brilaintly.What you can afford, in this order: GTX 1070 > GTX 1060 6GB > RX480(8/4GB) > GTX 1060 3GB > RX 470

Better, but not much better. I woudl still get it for the extra 2gb of ram though. That and teh added performance is worth the extra 25 IMO.That being said, both are great 1080p cards so you'll be fine with either.
